Popis: An ECG signal carries vital information that can be used for detecting various arrhythmia conditions. In this work, we have developed an algorithm to detect the R peaks of the ECG signal based on the Pan Tompkins Algorithm. Further, the work has been extended to a first level approximation to detect various arrhythmia conditions. Further to compute the QRS complex, the Q and S points based on the R-peaks are detected. To validate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm, the MIT/BIH arrhythmia database is used as a source for the ECG signals and the reference for R peak annotations. The algorithm provides the metric of False Detection Rate (FDR) to be 1.289%, Sensitivity to be 99.492% and Positive Predictivity to be 99.293%. After detecting the complete QRS complex, the entire QRS complex is set to zero in order to detect the P and T waves from the signal. Hence, this work provides a specific approach of P, Q, R, S and T wave detection of an ECG signal in a real-time environment. The algorithm is further ported to a low-cost ECG monitoring wearable patch to show the effectiveness of the approach.
